15 Years’ Experience Helping You Speak Slovak Naturally Turning Learning into Conversations Slovak Teacher with 15 Years’ Experience I’ve been teaching Slovak for 15 years. I started teaching Slovak 15 years ago out of need. Most of my friends are foreigners living in Slovakia, and I saw how limited their lives were because they could not speak Slovak—so I started teaching them. Since then, I’ve taught people from all walks of life and all nationalities. I have created my own materials—MP3s recorded with my own voice, PDFs, and flashcards.

Learning Slovak
Johanna is an outstanding Slovak teacher! I have taken several classes with her and am already starting to see progress in my understanding of Slovak. She does an excellent job of explaining each topic, and she is always fully prepared for class. She also provides materials for me to use to practice the concepts from each lesson, which allows me to reinforce my learning and prepare for our next lesson. I am a complete beginner, and her teaching style and engaging personality make me feel comfortable learning in her classes even when I make mistakes.

If you are looking for a teacher who truly cares about your results and is fully invested in helping you reach your goals, Angelika is the perfect choice. I started learning Slovak from a relatively basic level and managed to achieve my B1 certificate in just two months thanks to her structured lessons and clear explanations. Angelika is very professional, supportive, and knows exactly how to prepare students for real exams. She focuses not only on grammar but also on practical language skills that you actually need. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants fast progress and real results.

Karin is an amazing teacher! I already had some basic knowledge of the Slovak language and Karin immediately adapted to my level from the first lesson on. Her lessons are always fun and tailored to my needs. As I especially want to improve my speaking skills, she motivates me to speak more in Slovak and gives me great feedback. She is a very kind, patient and fun person, so I always feel comfortable speaking to her, even if I make a lot of mistakes. ;) I will definitely continue my lessons with her.

Petra is a calm and friendly teacher who makes learning Slovak feel easy and enjoyable. Even after the very first lesson, I was already able to pick up a few useful words. Her relaxed teaching style and clear explanations create a great learning atmosphere. Looking forward to the next lesson!

Jana is an excellent teacher. She is organised and uses a collection of varied learning materials to explain Slovak grammar in a clear and understandable way - something I really appreciate! It is also very helpful that she provides a full script of all new vocabulary which comes up during each lesson, since I can use this to make flash cards and revise what I have learnt. Jana's lessons are structured, covering of new content in every lesson, but are also relaxed and always enjoyable. I have been taking lessons three times a week for the past three months and feel delighted with how much better I can use the language now. Highly reccommended!

I've had several productive sessions with Timi. She really helped me to break the language barrier and get up to speed in daily topics like renting, schooling, small talks, etc. Every lesson with her enriches my vocabulary and gives a chance to practice Slovak in a safe learning environment. I appreciate her professional attitude, caring interest, and diligent preparation of materials - as well as her flexibility and agile approach during the sessions. D'akujem velmi pekne!

Learning Slovak
Every Slovak lesson with Martina is both very informative and fun! I'm a heritage speaker of Slovak (that has not spoken in many years) so it's hard to find Slovak content that helps me through my problem areas without having to go through a lot of basics and Martina's lessons have been perfect for that! She has been really flexible with the pacing and content of my lessons to tailor them to exactly my needs! I've also just enjoyed chatting with her in Slovak, we have fun conversations and she always makes me feel very comfortable :) Ďakujem, Martina!!!

Frequently asked questions
Are Slovak lessons conducted in English?
Yes, Slovak lessons on italki can be conducted in English, especially for beginners who may not have prior knowledge of Slovak. Most Slovak tutors are fluent in English and use it as a medium to explain grammar rules, vocabulary, and pronunciation, making the learning process smoother for non-Slovak speakers. This approach is particularly helpful for new learners who need clear explanations in a language they understand.
As you progress, tutors gradually incorporate more Slovak into the lessons, helping you transition to using the language actively. Advanced learners can opt for full immersion in Slovak if they prefer, but the option to revert to English for clarification is always available. This flexibility ensures a comfortable and productive learning environment tailored to your language level and goals. Whether you’re learning for travel, work, or personal reasons, having lessons in English as a bridge to Slovak can significantly boost your confidence and understanding.
